Plumage pattern revealed in 150 million-year-old bird An international team of scientists has used synchrotron-based imaging techniques to chemically map the feather colors of a 150 million-year-old bird. The study reveals that the dinosaur had feathers which were light in colour with a dark edge and tip, rather than all black as previously thought. |

Ancient Bird Fossil Makes a Splash Recent expeditions in a remote area of China have unearthed unusually well-preserved fossils of an ancient bird that lived between 105 million and 115 million years ago. The fossils of the surprisingly modern-looking bird suggest that today's birds may have originated from an aquatic ancestor. |
